Having Wowed Critics And Crate-Diggers Alike With 2012’S Acclaimed”Magik Cyrkles” Compilation, Psychemagik Are Now Ready To Unleash Thefollow-Up, “Magik Sunrise”, On Paul Murphy And Simon Purnell’S Lenglabel.
Bristling With Psychedelic, Cosmic And Curiously Balearic Odditieshand-Picked From The Depths Of Their Vast Record Collections, “Magiksunrise” Is, If Anything, Even More Inspired That Its Predecessor.
For “Magik Sunrise”, The Kent-Based Duo Has Dug Even Deeper Into Thedusty Corners Of Their Record Vault, Deep In The Cosmic Forest. Theresult Is Another Inspired, 15-Track Collection That Gleefully Skipsbetween All Manner Of Forgotten Gems And Little-Known Nuggets,Occasionally Stopping To Acclaim An Otherwise Unknown Track Or Artist.
Off-Kilter African Reggae (Max Adioa) Nestles Side By Side Witheyes-Closed Deep-Jazz Funk (Rob Mehl, George Oban), While The Stoned,Balearic Prog Rock Of Jeff Liberman Jostles For Position With The Stevemiller Band-On-Valium Goodness Of Fox’S “The Juggler”. Then There’S Theroxy Music-Ish Grooves Of Joey Newman, The Drifting New Age Ambience Ofiasos (Whose “Formentera Sunset Clouds”, From The 1975 Album”Inter-Dimensional Music”, Is A Highlight) And The Folksy Bliss Of Yvessimon.
Artists Originally Ignored First Time Round, Such As Daniel Mathieu,Cherubin, Susana Estrada And Steve & Teresa, Are Given A Place Inthe Spotlight. In Fact, Leng Spent A Considerable Amount Of Timetracking Down Each Artist, Allowing Them To Tell Their Stories, Give Theinside History Of Each Track And Relive Their Musical Adventures -However Previously Obscure Or Overlooked. Their Wares, From Misty-Eyedacoustic Rock To Slowed-Down Blue-Eyed Soul, Sound Sublime Inpsychemagik’S New Setting.
As Ever With Leng And Claremont 56, Much Attention Has Been Paid To Theartwork And Packaging. Long-Time Psychemagik Collaborator, Acclaimedillustrator Luke Insect, Once Again Handles Design Duties. Hisillustration – Part Pagan, Part Medieval Alchemy, Part Prog Rockrevivalism – Effortlessly Matches The Wide-Eyed Mood Of Psychemagik’Sbrilliant Selections.
